Russell Dwayne Mark Leverock (born 14 July 1971 in Bermuda) is a former Bermudian cricketer. Known as 'Sluggo' and living above a curry house in Bermuda, Leverock is a policeman and also drives a prison van. At the 2007 Cricket World Cup he was the largest player to grace the pitch, weighing in at 20 stone (280 pounds or 127 kg). However he is not the heaviest man to ever play international cricket. Warwick Armstrong weighed about 22 stone. 〔(Cricinfo – Players and Officials – Warwick Armstrong )〕 ==Playing career== Leverock played with the Bermudian cricket team in their first ever One Day International when they played Canada on 17 May 2006. Leverock claimed one of Canada's wickets as Bermuda won the game by three wickets under the Duckworth-Lewis method. He has since gone onto play for Bermuda in 11 ODIs, and picked up the first five wicket haul by a Bermudian bowler in ODIs, when he took 5/53 against Kenya which he achieved by opening the bowling, no mean feat for a spin bowler. He has also represented Bermuda in all eight of their ICC Intercontinental Cup matches to date, with a best of 7/57 against the USA in 2004. He also played in the 2005 ICC Trophy, the ICC Americas Championship in 2004 and 2006, and in the 2006 Stanford 20/20. As a batsman, Leverock made his first half-century (51) against the Netherlands in the 2006 ICC Intercontinental Cup, including 8 fours, and shared in a 132-run partnership with Glamorgan captain David Hemp.〔(Bermuda v Netherlands 2006 )〕 It was reported that he "enjoyed his time at the crease so much that he expressed dissent when he was given out lbw, and was consequently fined for the action.".〔(Cricket Web Stats Spider – Bermuda – Dwayne Leverock )〕 He made his second half-century (also 51) against the Netherlands in the 2007-08 ICC Intercontinental Cup,〔(Cricinfo – Netherlands v Bermuda at Amstelveen, Aug 13–15, 2007 )〕 which included some powerful straight fours.〔(Cricinfo – Sorry Bermuda slump to innings defeat )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dwayne Leverock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
